Amphetamines - Moderate - How to Love Everything

There was a brief time in my life when I got to know amphetamines very well, specifically dextroamphetamine. I aquired 20 of the 15mg Dexedrine Time Release capsules from a friend and had possibly the best week of my life. This is my story.
My trip started on a tuesday morning at school. After short debate, I decided to take 3 capsules (45mg time release) first thing in the morning. An hour passed and I felt nothing, then another half hour, still nothing. I was just beginning to think "what a dud" when the rush hit me. It was like nothing I'd ever done. I felt warm and fuzzy, alert and in control, and most of all I felt a unique happiness with everyone and everything.
The first day at school the world was mine, I talked to people I didn't know and they loved me. I had this overwhelming sense of confidence and charm, and whatever I felt like doing I did it. I would talk to hot girls I didn't know and have incredible, friendly conversations. It was amazing. About 5 o clock I was home and getting tired, so I took 2 more pills. Before 5 minutes had passed my rush came back and I knew the second pills hadnt come on yet, so about an hour later it hit me harder. I called everyone I knew cause I just wanted to talk and it felt so good to connect with people and be totally open.
Nights were a blur, I never actually slept but I wasn't awake. I was in limbo waiting happily for the sun to rise and get back to school. I remember talking to my brother on the phone and realizing how lucky I was to have him. I applied that same affection to other people now, and for the next few days I took nothing for granted. Whenever I would slow down, I'd take one or two more pills and pick myself up. It just felt too good to stop, so I didn't.
Before I knew it friday rolled around and I was on my last dose. I felt drained yet alert, my body was incredibly slow and I had lost about 12 pounds because food just never entered my mind.
I went home that day and literally hit the floor sleeping, I woke up 9 o clock saturday night feeling like my mind and body had been hit by a truck. I lost the love I had found, but I remembered it. If I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing.
-------------------------
In retrospect, I realize how speed had pulled me in. I'm glad I had a limited supply, although I know I could have stopped then anyway. I don't mean to glamorize stimulants, because I realize now that like any drug, the love I had was real, but the truth of temporarity hit me like a brick in the head. I learned to always respect my substance, and more importantly respect myself to stop when I was in over my head. Peace out.
 
yer u have to be careful with those pills i was addicted to them for a while last year and at one stage i was takin 8-10 10mg non-time realese dexies at a time 3-4 times a day for about 2 weeks......i lost about 16kgs and i havent been sucsessful in gainin back that weight yet......
but as u said they do give u a awsome rush an confidance boost but after (ab)usein them for lenghts if u dont sleep u start to see shit that aint there......the day i said to myself i woodnt take them again was wen i was at skool an hadent slept in almost 2 weeks an i fought a tree cuz it got in my way(infront of my whole p.e class)i had to go to scool councillor for a month cuz they thort i had gone nuts.
 
Hey!
I recently read an excellent autobiographical book by a long-term (15+ years) dextroamphetamine addict called Stephen Smith. The book is called Addict, ISBN 0952921502 and it's well worth a read.
It makes you desperate to try it while simultaneously making you afraid of the consequences.

hehe thats what i call my "requiem for a dream" syndrome ;)
if you've ever seen the movie...
 
How can anyone get addicted to Amphetamine, its such a nasty compound, such a nasty drug. I have a bottle of adderal presribed to me, and I dont even want to touch it anymore, I just trade it for MJ now.
 
Adderall is not much dextroamphetamine (2.5mg?), which is usually considered the "fun and happy" amphetamine. Regular amphetamine doesn't give much rush or pleasure to me, and I agree it can feel nasty.
Also, if you dont like regular amph and cant get d-amph i wouldnt try methamphetamine either, it has a great pleasure and speedness, but the body rush feels like a caffeine binge gone wrong.

.

Actually, the amount of d-amph in adderall depends on the strength of the pill. They are 10, 20, and 30, I think, and are half d-amph. Just 2 diff. salts of d-amp and l-amp. But you are correct about the levoamphetamine. It isn't very active. this is why they put l-methamphetamine in the vicks inhalers. It just isn't psychoactive. There is no way to change this either, at least AFAIK. I don't even know why they bother putting l-amp in Addies.
 
I have an incredible knack for keeping my cool. I once spent a half hour at a conference over next year's classes during the peak of 3 grams of pretty good shrooms. The councelor never had a clue.
Ironically, I can almost never, ever keep my cool stoned on weed. I just can't do it. Too giggly I suppose. ;)
